4.9.1. Weight Loss

The weight loss of control and treated fig fruits was calculated using the mass difference technique, as reported previously [12]. The fruits were weighed every 2 days over the storage period of 12 days using an analytical weighing balance. Weight loss was calculated by taking the difference between fruit weights at specific time points and day 0. Three repeats were performed under all conditions at each time point, and data are presented as an average ± standard deviation.
